    Extractions: Analysis The US Discovers Brazil Ever so Slowly Up until now, the study of Spanish speaking Central and South America has greatly outpaced consideration of Portuguese-speaking Brazil in American campuses. Brazil remained a stereotyped enigma being defined by Carmen Miranda and Pelé. But gradually a more meaningful image of the country is emerging. Phillip Wagner The explosive growth of Latino populations in North America is contributing to the progressive establishment and evolution of university programs examining Latin American history, culture and society. Some major universities, such as the University of Texas at Austin and the University of New Mexico presaged this movement in response to a regionally Latino rich demography. Having so long ago founded ambitious Latin American studies programs, they now reap the benefits of established credibility and mature curricula. An increasing general emphasis on international study, triggered by globalization, global security concerns and the emergence of powerful regional free trade zones is also helping to bring Latin America to light. The prestigious University of Denver Graduate School for International Studies (GSIS), which recently supplemented its offerings with a Homeland Security Certificate program, is a good example.

A single-semester course on the history of such a large and diverse country is necessarily selective and the core of this course consists of a series of problems in Brazilian history which we will analyze through a careful reading and discussion of pairs of articles. Several broad themes give unity to this course, including Brazil’s relationship to the international economy, race and ethnicity in the formation of Brazilian society and culture, and the role of the state in Brazilian history. Knowledge of Portuguese is not required for success in this course, but given that the majority of Brazilian history is written in that language, students with reading knowledge of Portuguese are urged to use sources in that language.

Although there are no official statistics, the Muslim population in Brazil is estimated to be approximately 1 million people, with a total population of more than 170 million. This number includes reverts to Islam, Arab immigrants and their descendants. Brazilian reverts make up for no more than 1% of this number, about 10,000 people. Therefore, within a population of over 170 million, the small number that make up Brazilian reverts to Islam have very little power. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. However, in Latin America, and specifically in Brazil, this is not the case. Why?

They can't come in here anymore, he said, referring to large landowners and others who for decades tried to push out the residents of Rio das Ras. Last year the Brazilian government issued a title of ownership to the community, ensuring that people who live in the Rio das Ras quilombo would never be forced illegally from this land. It is a promise that 2 million other impatient quilombo residents are waiting to see fulfilled. A constitutional overhaul 12 years ago included language that specifically addressed the land rights of Brazil's 724 quilombos. But only 33 of the centuries-old communities have received titles. And even in those with titles, residents say their poverty is so profound, their needs so vast, that their celebration is muted. Having a title to land isn't worth much if you don't have conditions to live

    Extractions: Description of the Collection The library also has an impressive collection of Brazilian materials. The strength of the collection lies in the sizeable numbers of works on Brazilian history, literature, travel accounts, and regional histories. The collection is particularly rich in materials relating to colonial Brazilian history. The James Watson Webb Collection, detailing his service as American Minister to Pedro II's Court in Brazil, and the Percival Farquhar Collection, relating to railroad building and business ventures in Brazil during the first half of the twentieth century, are also part of Yale's Brazilian collection. Other collections of major importance at Yale are those representing Argentina, Chile, Cuba and Central America. Argentina is comprehensively represented, especially in early twentieth-century publications. The collections of Carlos A Tornquist and Davis Curtis DeForest form the basis of Yale's Argentine holdings. The material donated by Tornquist had a strong emphasis on literature, history, oratory, law and sociology. The Chilean collection contains a respectable number of works on Chilean history and literature, covering the period from 1875 to the present. In the late 1960s and 1970s a successful systematic effort was made to build up the Chilean collection. click here to go to top of opposite column The history of Cuba and Cuban literature are also well represented at Yale. The library has been very successful in acquiring large numbers of Cuban publications during the difficult Castro period. After the Cuban revolution, excellent exchange agreements were established with Cuban libraries, publishers, university presses, and government agencies. These agreements provided the collection with literary publications, serials, government publications, and other research materials. In 1981 the acquisition of the Franco Cerutti Central American Library added more than 10,000 titles to the library. When added to Yale's already considerable Central American holdings, it made Yale a key repository of Central American materials.

    Extractions: 2. Brazil and the International Economy (6 hours) One of the milestones in recent Brazilian history is the fact that, emerging from a self-imposed seclusion, which lasted for more than two generations, the country is currently revitalizing its relationships with the rest of the world. Special attention is directed to the recent developments and prospects for the Brazilian economy in the global market, focusing on recent performance and future prospects for the trade balance, services, current accounts, capital flows, foreign debt and international reserves. Emphasis will be also given to an analysis of those aspects of Brazilian economic policy, which directly influence the Balance of Payments and the nation's international interaction, including exchange rate policy and trade liberalization.

You're quite fastidious about neatness: yout house is very clean and you take one or (during summer) more showers a day.

I thought about what I was writing: it would be general stuff; thoughts and observations about life, politics and society; maybe even a book review or two. Window dressing, in other words. But `Window dressing for the soul' didn't have quite the right ring to it; in fact it seemed rather pretentious. As I thought about what I might call it, I was copied into an email from a reader who had forwarded my article on military service in Brazil from a couple of months ago to his friends. "Do you have to do this?" he asked them, several of whom were like me: British, but with Brazilian passports. "He's exaggerating," was one of the responses. "It used to be like that, but not anymore. Had he got hold of a particular form when he turned 18 he would have been spared the annual trip to the consulate. He's stirring, trying to make an impression:
